    Server Description

    A storage-focused virtual server combining 1250 GB of local NVMe SSD capacity with moderate dual-core compute resources.

    Storage & DatabaseMemory Optimized

    Amazon Web Services i3en.large is a storage-optimized instance featuring 2 vCPUs, 16.0 GB of DDR4 memory, and 1250 GB of local NVMe SSD storage. Powered by an Intel Xeon 8259CL processor running at 3.1 GHz on the x86_64 architecture, this instance utilizes the Nitro hypervisor. Benchmark evaluations indicate lower-tier compute and memory performance, with a single-core stress-ng score of 1318.68 and a multi-core score of 1731.97. Memory read bandwidth for large blocks is measured at 13.72 GB/sec. The instance delivers 1.65 million operations per second for Redis SET operations and a static web serving throughput of 1.87 GB/sec. Given its high storage-to-compute ratio, the i3en.large is designed for storage-intensive workloads, such as small databases and local caching, where local NVMe capacity is prioritized over raw processing power.

    Workload Profiles

    0.147Score
    Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
